- Nuvo-11588 only: 1x PCIe Gen4x8 external SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) connector
The system accepts 8V to 48V DC input via a 3-pin pluggable terminal block, with an optional ignition power control function for in-vehicle use. The maximum input current per pin is 20A. When using the PoE+ feature, the allowable DC input range is narrowed to 12V to 48V. Maximum power consumption varies by CPU SKU and input voltage, ranging from roughly 67W (35W TDP CPUs) up to about 190W (Max SKU configurations) depending on the processor and voltage.
The system operates from -25°C to 60°C with a 35W CPU. With a 65W CPU, the same -25°C to 60°C range applies but installation of the optional fan kit is recommended, especially above 50°C ambient. A wide-temperature HDD or SSD is required for sub-zero operation. Storage temperature is -40°C to 85°C, humidity tolerance is 10% to 90% non-condensing, and the unit is rated to MIL-STD-810H for vibration (Method 514.8, Category 4) and shock (Method 516.8, Procedure I). EMC compliance is CE/FCC Class A per EN 55032 & EN 55035.
The system supports up to 64GB DDR5 6400 memory via a single SODIMM slot. Storage options include one M.2 2280 M-key socket (PCIe Gen4x4) for an NVMe SSD, and one easy-swappable 2.5" HDD/SSD tray (supports drives up to 7mm thick). Internal expansion includes one M.2 2230 E-key slot for a WiFi module and two full-size mini PCI Express sockets with internal SIM sockets for 3G/4G/5G modules or other mPCIe cards.
Neousys has tested and verified Windows 11 24H2 and Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS on this system. For Linux, users may need to manually compile and install drivers for Intel graphics or the I225/I226 GbE controller if not already included in the kernel, and some features like triple independent display or RAID may have limited support.
The Nuvo-11531/11588 measures 212mm (W) x 165mm (D) x 63mm (H) and weighs 2.2kg excluding wall mount kits. It supports wall-mount as the standard mounting method, with an optional DIN-rail mounting kit available as an accessory.
The Nuvo-11531 uses an Intel H810 chipset and provides 4-CH isolated DI and 4-CH isolated DO. The Nuvo-11588 uses an Intel Q870 chipset, provides 8-CH isolated DI and 8-CH isolated DO, and adds an external PCIe Gen4x8 SlimSAS 8i (SFF-8654) connector for external NVMe, U.2 storage, industrial PCIe cameras, or GPUs. Both share the same dimensions, CPU options, memory, and most other I/O.
The system includes one M.2 2230 E-key slot for a WiFi module and two full-size mini PCI Express sockets, each paired with a Micro-SIM socket, for installing 3G/4G modules. SMA antenna apertures are provided on the side panel for external antenna connections.
How-to Guides
- Refer to the system disassembly procedure; you may not need to fully dismantle the system to reach the M.2 slot.
- Insert the M.2 module into the slot at a 45-degree angle.
- Gently press the module down and secure it with an M2.5 P-head screw.
- Remove the thermal pad's protective film at the bottom of the enclosure panel for the NVMe module.
- Reinstall the system enclosure and panel when done.
- Disassemble the system enclosure as described in the disassembly section.
- Remove the hexa-screws on the I/O panel with the 3-pin terminal block and on the panel with the DisplayPort, then remove the side panel screw and separate the two I/O panels.
- Remove the eight indicated screws to separate the motherboard from the heatsink.
- Turn over the motherboard to locate the SODIMM slot.
- Insert the memory module's gold fingers into the slot at a 45-degree angle, then push down to clip it into position.
- Remove the memory module's thermal pad protective film on the heatsink before reassembly.
- Reinstall the motherboard, I/O panels, and enclosure, securing all screws.
- Confirm the DC power source is within the 8V to 48V range (or 12V to 48V if using PoE+) before connecting; supplying over 48V will damage the system.
- Use the supplied 3-pin pluggable terminal block and its screw-clamping mechanism to wire the DC power connection.
- Optionally, connect the Remote On/Off pins to an external non-latched switch for remote power control, or wire the optional ignition signal input (IGN) for in-vehicle applications.
- Power on the system by pressing the power button, using the external non-latched switch, or sending a Wake-on-LAN packet.
- Remove the four rubber stands at the bottom of the enclosure if attached.
- For wall mounting: attach the two wall mount brackets to the enclosure using the supplied M4 screws, then secure the assembly to a flat wall surface with four additional M4 screws. Orient the heatsink fins perpendicular to the ground for better heat dissipation.
- For DIN-rail mounting (optional kit): fix the DIN-rail clip to the mounting bracket using four M4 flat-head screws, attach the bracket assembly to the system with four M4 screws, then clip the assembled system onto the DIN rail.
- Press F2 during system boot to enter the BIOS setup utility.
- Go to
Advanced>Peripheral Configuration. - Set the
Set COM1 Mode as(orSet COM2/3/4 Mode as) option to the desired mode: RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. - Optionally adjust the Slew Rate (set to High for long-distance RS-422/485 runs) and the RS-422/485 Termination setting to match your wiring.
- Press F10 to save changes and exit.
